If you are working with bbPress or are thinking about using bbPress as your website’s support forum, I would highly recommend becoming familiar with the following shortcodes for displaying your forum content. We created this directory as a result of our own difficulties in trying to work with what bbPress documentation there is available. Unfortunately, it seems there is not a lot of effort being put into the current bbPress site. bbPress 2.0 has a lot of potential and we wanted to offer some guidance to get you started, because we love the WordPress community.
Note: These shortcodes are for bbPress 2.0.
